So, I have a problem. Sometimes at the end of the day, I still have a couple of hundred calories left and I have no idea what to eat. There's no way you can eat 100 calories worth of celery, and I don't want to end up just having a piece of cake or something bad for me. Does anyone know of any snacks that have a decent amount of calories, but are still good for you?

    nuts.
    pistachios are my fav.. but almost all nuts are calorie dense because of the oil they contain.

    Take that celery and put some peanut butter on it. :) And by peanut butter I mean the real stuff, not the processed stuff. Yummy, high in calories, and protein!

    Haha, that's what my mom always tells me...but I can't bring myself to eat the stuff :( I'm not a big fan of peanut butter in the first place. Maybe I'll have to acquire that taste eventually...*sigh*
    I do sometimes have celery with lowfat cream cheese though (:

    I've had bad luck with avocados, but I do love almonds. I usually bake them with all kinds of seasonings and fancy stuff (: But I need to find something I can grab when I don't have them prepared.

    Love hummus and pita (: That's usually what I go for but I'm all out at the moment

    not ALL cheese is high calorie... thankfully. lol.

    one thing I learned after suffering without it for months... cheese is GOOD and worth it.

    you could always carb up... it seems like anything breadlike is high calorie. lol. pasta too.
    I had potato salad this weekend.. super high calories, but oh soo good.
    Chili is also awesome... not unhealthy, but the beans and meat make it so calorie dense.... lol.

    Yeah I'm trying to avoid eating a lot of wheat and starch though, I have the most trouble losing when I eat it.
    And believe me, I would like nothing more than to eat nothing but potatoes...all day every day...mmmmm

    One tbsp of peanut butter mixed in with organic Greek yogurt. About 180 calories, and a good "sweet".

    I usually go for peanut butter or a greek yogurt. The PB is 2 tablespoons for 180-190 calories and the greek yogurt is 140-160 depending on the kind I get (usually Chobani fruit on the bottom). I also like Special K crackers and hummus. My diary is open, and most of my snacks are 100-200 calories total.

    You can get the 90 calorie packs that you pop into the microwave to steam. Very easy and yummy!

    If I've got room to spare I am a sucker for fresh fruit with Ricotta Cheese (the low fat version) soooo yummy! Pistashios are top fav too.
